eHarmony

The lovely apartment I enquired about no longer is available, bummer! However, I have come across many more promising options thanks to a lovely little website called easypiso.com, where you create a profile and construct yourself in such a way that you seem as least sketchy as one possibly can in an online ad. I'd imagine this is what online dating is about (Hi, I'm a student looking for an apartment next semester. I'm clean, responsible...I like to laugh for no reason, dance in the rain, enjoy walks on the beach and roasting marshmallows by twilight, you get the picture?)

I have officially finished mid-term week, which was probably less stressful than my least-demanding week at BC, gotta love abroad programs! One test was in Contemporary Spanish Cinema. We had to write an in-class essay involving the image of the two sides in the Spanish Civil War. We watched Belle Epoque, La Nina de Tus Ojos, and La Lengua de las Mariposas, the latter being one of my all-time favorite Spanish movies, probably tied with Pan's Labyrinth. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for amazing foreign films! The title in English is "The Tongue of the Butterflies." The essay went well. I wrote for the entire two hours. I just kind of took the question and ran with it because I loved the movies so much and got really excited. So I hope that I formed a coherent idea somewhere and didn't just write a bunch of nonsensical rubbish.

Yesterday I triumphed over the forces of the Spanish grocery business when I successfully found APPLE JUICE BOXES, thus ending the 8-week drought. It only took three different stores. Never give up.
